Re: Sensory Listening Systems - advise

[Guest guest]

My son uses the EASe CDs at home as well as Mozart and Baroque for Modulation

and its been very helpful. However, my sons auditory issues are different. He

has too much auditory stimulation. Sinse we've been using the CDs (4 months)

he's not covering his ears nearly as much and no longer screams when I use the

blender, vacuum or power tools.

that is in the habit of humming repetitive bits of music, for example, the first

school. At the private OT, they are using " The Listening Program " , but I am

reluctant to spend such a large amount of money with out reading reviews, etc. I

am also looking at a more affordable version called EASe (Electronic Auditory

My daughter hums all the time - as she gets better she would stop to talk or

answer question but once on her own she would hum again. Sounds very similar to

what you are describing.

We did Listening Program - and it was totally no help. When we did it I saw a

lot more gymnastics activities - she wanted to stand on her head on a couch.

That's all we saw.

I also noticed it is worse in Fall than other seasons.

What I have seen, at least for us, the sensory listening systems help more with

regulation than with actual language; more language can be a by-product of the

regulation.  We spent $7,000 on Tomatis and I think my daughter's balance got

better .............. I would not do it again.  I saw more with regulation

doing

chelation than I did with Tomatis.

The EASe suite looks really interesting; definitely not as expensive as the

other listing programs.  The is another processing program that we do from

time-to-time that seems good but I can't remember the name (has the picture of

an cartoon Ant on it)

Years ago we did a program based more on the Berard method. Auditory testing and

tapes to listen to based on the testing; retesting every 3-6mos. It took about

1.5y for a flat curve to normalize and for the correct ear dominance to evolve.

From my understanding; a flat curve means that there is little/no preference for

range of sounds so all is coming into the brain w/o a filter. The ear dominance

I likened to a highway; correct dominance = interstate and direct to brain

center; incorrect dominance = detours to brain center. This therapy was less

than $700 for all. It made a huge difference. Places that would sometimes cause

meltdowns[grocery store, mall, school activities etc] became well tolerated. We

didn't perceive any balance correction but it may have been too subtle. We live

in midwest and had to travel approx 6hr for the testing - but time and money

well spent!!

We're not at the point where its not a problem, but it does take longer for him

to stress out. He still covers his ears, but now he tells me that its loud

instead of having a meltdown. We've spent $150

on the CDs (eBay) and our school district uses them as well. I have hopes that

he will continue to improve.

We did first Samonas (highly recommended by the neurodevelopmentalist),

Then Auditory Integration Therapy for our dd who's severely ADHD with some

Autism behaviors. She'd always been extremely irritable to sound. (She'd been

born at 26 wks in Russia, adopted by us at 8 mos)

Both sound programs were expensive, the AIT being more individualized, and more

expensive. They only calmed her WHILE she was listening, no carry over at all.

After the AIT she began this buzzing/humming thing which took a long time to go

away.

We began chelating last February and she is about 75% better!!!!!!!!!!! Even

the sound sensitivity has improved that much!!!

We have been chelating our other dd (full term baby from Russia, too,and

although this dd is the one who fully met the counting rules, have only seen

maybe 15% improvement in her so far - her problem is extreme anxiety. Both are

on many supplements, including ACE.

i used it. No noticeable effect. The cd's (All 10) were of not great quality.

Burnt CD's. One shipped as blank. One game. Contact me by email for more info.

We did Therapeutic Listening last fall/winter and had wonderful sensory

improvments. Not all kids are alike, though. And of course, we'd been chelating

for over 6 months at that point. We did see gains sensory improvements and they

have lasted a year so far.
